Oswaldo Cabrera opened eyes with the way he played for the Yankees late last season. He has finally gotten back to that level of play.
Cabrera reached base four times on Friday in a win over the Pirates, then belted his first home run since June 3 on SaturdayThat continued a strong week in which he has hit 8-for-22 with three extra-base hits and five walks in six games, putting together what manager Aaron Boone said have been his best at-bats of the season.The Yankees were banking on Cabrera to continue his success from last season, or at least to come close to it, this year, which he began as their starting left fielder.
Because of his offensive struggles, Cabrera’s playing time was sporadic until late August, when the Yankees turned their focus to the future with their playoff hopes all but extinguished.In 89 games before that, the switch-hitter batted .206 with a .568 OPS. Oswaldo Cabrera celebrates after belting a solo home run in the eighth inning of the Yankees’ 6-3 win over the Pirates.“Really excited about it, because he’s such a grinder too and he has not stopped working, trying to get through it. I feel like this is the best week offensively I’ve seen from him all year long. He’s playing for a lot. He is an important part of what we do because of his versatility.
